What's up with 2005 recently?

2005 hasn’t run since the incident where they broke down at Old Tavern. Word is it’s completely shot…

@R&DB Yeah I know of that route. It was kinda like a cutoff going that way.

Didn't Mr. Burenga say 752 was his baby (first locomotive)?

Something like that. His baby is making a very unusual noise when starting from a dead stop though. No idea what it is but the noise sounds like a cow mooing…

When you get that many miles on your frame, you will make unusual noises, too.

Tomorrows RB-1 will have 7 cars for Woodhaven and 1 tanker. Should be 752 as the power again…

752 is being fueled up inside Woodhaven. There’s a Dover Oil truck sitting in there connected to 752…

Crossed the Mingamahone and headed to Farmingdale, Main Street at 9:33am

DAMN. Nice picture!!

Northbound at DCS LAKEWOOD 11:59 AM

Train had to stop in Lakewood because people are climbing on it. May have thrown something in front of the train too…

I'm just getting reacquainted with the railroad scene in the area. So, DRRR is part of C&D's system? Sorry if that's a bit of a pedestrian question to ask but I was away for the takeover from Conrail.

Yes, they are part of the C&D system. C&D is owned by Black River and Western.

Hmm. Thank you very much. Thought that BR&W was owned by C&D but i guess i just got that backwards.
